The city wants the $8 million raked in by the Eagles Skybox at Veterans Stadium from the 2000 and 2001 seasons. But the Eagles won’t pay up, claiming the city is at fault for their losing $8 million when the 2001 pre-season game was canceled due to turf problems, the paper reported.

The Eagles now want a Common Pleas Court judge to enforce the deal and have filed details of the agreement with sworn affidavits from team owner Jeffrey Lurie (stating the deal was to pay the city less than $1 million) and team president Joe Banner (who claimed he was told by attorneys to “rely on the mayor’s promise” although the deal was not put in writing), according to the paper.
